The BBC Shakespeare Plays

Más información sobre el libro

Between 1978 and 1985 the BBC televised the entire Shakespeare canon of thirty-seven plays, a remarkable technical and dramatic accomplishment. Susan Willis, an American scholar in Shakespeare studies and performance, observed the making of a number of these television plays. Here she presents not only a full-scale history and analysis of BBC series but an unprecedented eyewitness account of the productions, from planning and rehearsal to taping and editing.
